Permit(s) Applied for:

Project is Located:

Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County

Project Description:

The applicant proposes to install a new marina and large-vessel dock on the east shore of the Hudson River to be known as Shadows Marina. The proposed facility would be located off Rinaldi Drive in the City of Poughkeepsie. The marina is proposed to consist of 99 permanent slips and up to 12 transient slips within a network of cable-achored, floating docks surrounded by a floating wave attenuator. The cables are proposed to be anchored to the river bottom by about 130 concrete blocks, each weighing 5,000 pounds, placed on the river bottom. The perimeter of the marina would extend into the river approximately 250-300 feet and along the shoreline for a distance of approximately 750 feet. A sanitary pumpout will also be installed on a 10 x10 foot float. In addition, a large-vessel berthing dock is proposed that would consist of a 40 x 20 foot float attached to the shore by a 4 x 28 foot gangway, and two berthing dolphins spaced 50 feet apart. The dolphin piles will be drilled into the ledge rock in the river bottom to a depth of 5 feet. The berthing area would be located about 1,000 feet south of the proposed marina and is designed to accomodate a vessel up to 200 feet in length. The project is associated with the upland development of the site as a mixed-used water front site.
